The poplar petiole gall moth (Ectoedemia populella) is a moth of the family Nepticulidae. It is widely distributed in North America east of the Rocky Mountains.[1][2] It was first described by Danish-American entomologist August Busck in 1907.[2]
The adult wingspan 7-8.5 mm.[1]
The larvae induce globular galls on the petioles of several Populus species.[1] Mature larvae overwinter in the galls and adults emerge in spring.[1]
